Do you moonlight somewhere other than your FT position?

A patient is to receive 40mg of furosemide (Lasix) IV now because of evidence of respiratory compromise from pulmonary edema. How should the nurse administer the drug?

a. give IV push over no less than 10 minutes

b. add the drug to 200ml of fluid over 20 minutes

c. give IV push over 2 minutes

d. administer over 2 hours in 250 ml of normal saline

I have no clue I am a level 1 nursing student. We have not gotten to IV stuff yet but this question is on my at home quiz. I would say D but am not sure at all.

After I worked as a nurse for a year, i began working a perdiem job in addition to my full time job . . first i did it with an agency, but after realizing i did not like the agency, I took a per diem position with another hospital . . .I used to work there 1x per week but the last 6 months or so i have only done a handful of shifts bec there is not the need like there used to be. I actually make a little less at the per-diem job . . .

The answer is C and I'm pretty sure you're on the wrong post

I just started a PRN position at a hospital. I make more at that position than I do at my full time job. However, my boss at my full time job just found out about this other job and she is not happy at all.

FT nights at hospital and PRN home health visits; did try other hospital but really missed home health and this working out with my kids schedule...

Why? As long as you can still fulfill your obligation to your full-time job it shouldn't matter.

I'm going to get certified in childbirth ed and I hope I can get a part-time job doing that in addition to my fulltime job as an L&D nurse.

I'm also looking into cross-training and doing some extra shifts in other units in my hospital. Maybe in pediatrics if they'll let me. A nurse I work with does 1 or 2 shifts a week in ambulatory surgery. That also sounds neat. I think it's 8 hour shifts and she says the work is much easier and less stressful than L&D.
